  • 2 cups cooked pork roast, shredded
  • 1 can (10 oz.) red enchilada sauce, divided
  • 20 dried corn husks
  • 2 cups Bob's Red Mill Masa Harina corn flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/3 cup safflower or vegetable oil

  2. Fill large bowl with warm water and soak corn husks at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together masa, baking powder, garlic powder and salt. Whisk in oil before, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time until mixture resembles peanut butter.
